* MisplacedWildlife: [[RuleOfScary For absolutely no reason at all, there is a tarantula in the bar.]] It never shows up again and doesn't affect anything around it; it's completely gratuitous and was probably done to just up the creep factor, as if ''thousands of man-eating rats'' was not enough.
Added DiffLines:
* TooDumbToLive: Literally everyone in the group does something stupid at one point or another that gets them killed. It's painfully obvious they didn't have the budget to have actual action scenes, so the characters simply do incredibly dumb things and get bumped off one at a time. The most obvious thing, of course, is that they could have simply left the building when the rats were first discovered. The excuse that their motorcycle tires were chewed out is weak-sauce at best and they could have simply left on foot, but they insist on staying and it gets [[spoiler: all but two of them killed as a result.]]
